Remey had been brainstorming while they had travels back home about what to ask Lisa to make. She had come up with ideas for everyone.

"That being said I'm basically placing an order, do you think your up for it?" Remey smirked as she said this.

Lisa looked ready to reply but paused and hesitated. He eyes shown with renewed vigor, "yes I accept the quest!" Lisa grabbed Remeys hand and started to pull her away. While struggling to hold the fabric and Lisa's hand Remey had no choice but to follow.

"Huh so Lisa received a quest from Remey asking to place an order." Walker was surprised and spoke out loud.

"Well for her profession that's how it would normally go, just like me I receive quests when I take orders for my baked goods." Hilda knew Walker had this information but decided to reinforce it since she knew he often fell in to his own thoughts.

After thinking on it a bit more walker decided it was best to help out with the cooking but was promptly forced out of the kitchen. His mother decided that none of them were to help cook at all since they were celebrating their return.

With his newfound free time walker wandered to the training area. He figured he might as well the the abyssal serpent egg absorb more light while he practices. After placing the egg down safely walker decided that since the small pond was there he might as well try to learn water magic.

Most of his skills had come situationally, he often didn't learn something unless it went with the flow. So he figured the best bet to learn something would be to directly gather some water in his hands.

"Freeze!...." nothing happened.

Walker knew it wouldn't be that easy but decided to try everything he heard of.

"Dance!....spikes!....flow!....rain!..." if anyone was witnessing this they would think him mad. But after over an hour of shouting and throwing water or letting it drip from his hands he was no where. To add insult to I jury as walker stood up his foot slipped on an algae laden rock.

Before he could do anything he was totally underwater. He could feel the muck on the bottom of the fond between his fingers. As he pushed up award he noticed the silt stirred by this motions.

"Skill water manipulation had been taken from the water elemental system.

Would the user like to learn water manipulation?'

Walker didn't even need to say yes just as his head breached the surface of the water his thoughts had already given the system the go ahead.

'Skill water manipulation has been learned.

Water manipulation- mana 1+

Gives the ability to manipulate water in to its many forms. The more mana used the more effect it will have. The water manipulated must exist is the area directly and can not be created.'

Walker dragged himself back to dry land trying to both read and not shiver due to how cold the water was. While doing so he realized it was the perfect way to test this new skill.

Walker immediately used water manipulations on the water covering his clothing and body. He noticed three mana had been consumed instantly. The water on his body and in his clothing started to drip down. It was repelled from him as if it had been mixed with oil. A puddle developed at his feet.

Walkers excitement grew as he placed a finger in the puddle and pushed more mana in to it trying to freeze it. Another three mana was consumed and the small puddle turned bright white freezing in to crunchy crystals.

Playing with his new skill walker tried to find the smallest amount of water he could control using only one singular mana point. This took much of his time and almost all his mana. Soon he realized that it was time to eat and quickly retrieved the egg. His spirits were very high.

Entering the indoor dining area he was amazed by the amount of food. The party may have gotten a decent amount on their way back but it appeared that his mother had truly out done herself. Perfectly sliced meats with mounds of roasted vegetables sat center. Peeled fruits were placed like little gems waiting to be eaten. Walker almost pulled one of the ten bottles of aged berry wine to drink with dinner since it would be an amazing surprise. However remembering its extravagant price he thought It smarter to save it for the auction. There would be many who would pay a hefty sum for one bottle which could easily fund the party for a good while.

"This all looks amazing!" Walker pulled out a chair and sat down. Naturally he had been the last to arrive since he'd been outside.

Everyone was eating and talking, walker could only feel he was extremely lucky to have so many people to share a meal with. Each member of the party took their turns sharing their adventures. This time they were more calm and didn't miss a detail. Their families looked in awe, and horror based on the part they were at. This slightly amused them as they were the ones who had lived it and had already accepted the absurdity.

The night approached and soon they realized they'd basically started to sleep at the dinner table. For everyone it was time to rest. They all deserved to revel in their dreams for the night. They wouldn't be able to go on a quest for a week so instead they would all go their own ways until the auction in a few days. Walker had his own plans to experiment with magic. Midnight would be absorbing the condensed understanding and most likely sleeping. Gil said he would run off to find his father and hunt a bit. Remey would spend time with her siblings at the orphanage, well basically beating them up. And Su was going to use the scroll in the morning to heal her mother. Walker offered to be there to help if needed so first thing they would do was to heal Su's mother.
